My Interests

Writing, but I also do oil paintings for fun.

I'd like to meet:

Readers and other authors interested in inspirational or paranormal romances.

Music:

I like classical, country, folk songs, and lots of oldies.

Movies:

I like happy endings. If a movie doesn't have a happy ending, I probably will not see it.

Television:

Other than the news, I rarely watch television.

Books:

I LOVE romances! My all-time favorite book is Jane Eyre. Other top favorites include Christy, and Gone With the Wind. I like anything by Grace Livingston Hill as well as anything by Charles Dickens. I enjoy the books of plenty of contemporary writers, too. There are simply too many of them to name.

Heroes:

Mom and Dad.
